A New Color Challenge from Utah Divas International

Hello everyone and welcome to a new Color Challenge from Utah Diva's International! Look at the beautiful colors we have for you this week -- Regal Rose, Pink Pirouette, Old Olive, Basic Black and Whisper White! I just love the contrast that you get when you pair Black and Pink together! Such a pretty look!!!!

For today's card, I cut out a Top Note Die, using the Big Shot and Pink Pirouette Cardstock. I only used half the die cut and stamped the image from Friends Never Fade directly on the Pink Pirouette cardstock. I used Stampin' Write Markers to apply ink directly to the rubber. I then inked the edges of the Top Note Shape and adhered it to the Basic Black layer using SNAIL adhesive.

Again, using the Big Shot and the Square Lattice Impressions Folder, I ran the entire thing through the Big Shot again for this cool Inlaid Embossing Technique. I added a Pretty in Pink ribbon and a tag made with the Decorative Label Punch and the Scallop Oval Punch. The sentiment is from the Cottage Garden Stamp Set. I applied the tag with Stampin' Dimensionals and added a little tied-on faux bow! What a pretty card to kick-off the spring season!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope I've inspired you to try the Color Challenge at Utah Divas International. If you need more inspiration, check out the rest of the Design Team Projects on the blog post! There's some great eye-candy waiting for you there!
